Trivalent Strong Exhaustivity \u2013\u00a0towards a uniform semantics for question embedding
\n<\/strong>Danny Fox, MIT<\/p>\n

Abstract<\/strong>
\nIn this talk I will go over well-known arguments that there are three different interpretive schemas associated with question embedding (weak-exhaustivity<\/em>,\u00a0strong-exhaustivity\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0intermediate-exhaustivity<\/em>), where each embedding predicate selects for the appropriate schema. Despite these arguments I will propose a uniform semantics based on the assumption that the\u00a0answer\u00a0<\/em>to a question is a trivalent proposition (the denotation of a cleft). The answer will be \u201cstrongly exhaustive\u201d but presuppositional, hence\u00a0Trivalent Strong Exhaustivity<\/em>. Different results will follow for the different embedding contexts based on independent differences in presupposition projection. If there will be time, I will also explain how the approach might account for restrictions on question embedding, veridicality and maximality effects.<\/p>\n
